Hey Scott,
Please do this...
Identify what is called the "needle clamps".
Drop to one knee and observe all sixteen of the needle clamps that are used to hold the needles in place. When looking at the space between the top of the needle clamp and the bottom of the needle case, the space(s) should be all about the same with the exception of the needle that is in the position to sew (active needle position).
If you find that some of the needles that you say aren't picking up the bobbin correctly are, in fact, up almost touching the bottom of the bobbin case, then those needles must be adjusted for correct needle bar height.
This is usually done by a tech but if you can find this adjustment in the tech manual, good luck.

PS. Not that I frequent Southwest Florida, I have driven as far south as Miami twice on service calls. If Juliette (Melco tech in Florida) is unavailable, and you still need a tech, give me a call.
