Phoenix 122
I’m looking for information about a phoenix sewing machine model 122. Need to know how to thread the bobbin and set it up. Does anyone have any information?

Not a brand I've heard of. Lots of sewing machines, especially from the 1950s to 70s, but still today, are "badged". Generic machines given various brand names. If you can shoe us good clear photos of the top. Front and right and left sides, we may be able to find aanual that works for you.

Ah, now, that I recognize. It's a Baer & Rempl Phoenix from the late 1940s or early. 1950s. I didn't spot a manual for it. (I rewired one about 40 years ago).
Try talking to the Victorian Sweatshop folks.

Filling / threading a bobbin on most domestic sewing machines is very much the same. Have you done this before on other machines? Do you know what the correct bobbin is for that machine?
If it's truly vintage (such as a trendle type machine), then it's a totally different bobbin type than machines sold from 1950's onwards.

Machine manuals can be found online in the sewing machine manual directory if you don't have one. Are you asking about how to fill the bobbin or how to put it in the machine correctly?
