Will not pick up bobbin thread, I have re-threaded and re-read manual. I have been sewing on this machine for over 2 years with no problems.
It could be a timing issue. Could be a tension issue. But it may also just be lint under the plate and feed dogs not allowing the thread to fully rotate around the bobbin case. If you haven't already, I would take the plate off, take the bobbin case pieces out, and clean thoroughly with a lint brush. Take the side cover off the top of the machine and check the thread path for lint or broken thread. If you have already cleaned it thouroughly and it still won't pick-up, have a repairman take a look at it.

Here's how you set the timing od the Machine alright:
1. Take the side plate off, take the needle plate off.
2. Take the presser foot off, and put a new needle in the machine. 3. Make sure that the needle is in the lowest position and look at the needle bar for the two timing lines. Locate the top line.
4. Then, turn the handwheel toward you until the top line is where the bottom line was.
At this point, the tip of the hook should be directly in the scarf of the needle.
This should set the timing of the machine perfect....

I had a Golden Touch 'N Sew many years ago and as the machine aged and parts became worn, step 4 of this bobbin winding diagram started to become a problem and I had to sometimes try several times before the "tabs" would release. If they did not release, the machine "thought" it was still winding the bobbin and would not sew.
