The bobbin thread is still not getting picked up, so I'll post a video of that shortly. 

Does that clutch only engage in 1 position? If not, you could just be locked in the wrong place.

I'll check that, but it looks to me like the timing is now correct, that is, the hook passes by the needle at the correct point. However, it is not quite close enough to consistently catch the thread, so I plan to adjust the "distance between the sewing hook and needle" (p. 19, Fig. 45 of the manual), and I'm fairly confident that'll get it working. Either way, I'll post an update here.
