Default Figured out how to thread bobbin...but top thread won't pick it up

Thank goodness a group of folks who know what they're talking about! I'm new here, a new owner of a White Dressmaster rotary. Going from my glitchy plastic encased Brother to this will be an adventure.......I hope. I found information on the elaborate threading of the spool, and luckily was able to reverse engineer the threading of the bobbin. My problem lies in getting the top thread to pick up the bobbin thread. I have watched the mechanics in action and frankly, I'm just not seeing how it can happen. So, is there a specific placement of the thread from the bobbin that will make the top thread pick it up? Or is there something else I should be looking at (timing, needle, etc.)?
Posting pictures..........it looks so new because the woman who used to own it was very meticulous and kept the cover on it. Not a scratch!



This was the 'schematic' I posted on facebook and my gardening forum.
