It is a "pre-production XT". I have one just like it. It, being this old, is imperative that you do a complete lubrication sequence on it. On this machine, are the threadfeed rollers a black color or are they yellow in color?? If they are black, then this is old school and if they have thread cuts and/or grooves worn in them, then this may also be your problem. The older black rollers were softer and needed to be replaced much more often then the newer yellow style. It was a cause for massive trhread break problems if they were not maintained.
