My Singer model 5050 has developed a bobbin thread problem, in that I have
to try up to a dozen times to raise the bobbin thread. I've removed the
bobbin repeatedly and detected nothing that indicates that it is the source
of the problem. I've rethreaded the machine several times, thinking that
that might be causing the problem. I'm eventually successful in raising the
bobbin thread, but it's very perplexing, considering that it used to take
one attempt to raise it. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for misspelling the word "thread" in the subject line.

Does it sew ok after you get the thread up ?
Sounds like it should be skipping alot ?

Some simple ideas :
==============
1 - Try a new needle ? (old one may be bent )

2 - Is the needle inserted correctly ? flat side faces rear of
machine ?

3 - have you made any changes to how you pull the thread up ?
like holding the needle thread in front of the machine instead of
behind the presser foot .

4- Have enough bobbin thread dangling off the bobbin so the end
of the thread does not get lost in the bobbin case ?

5 - cleaned thread fluff out of the bobbin area ?

I am not familiar with that machine but i suppose it is like
many others...

where you ...
a. insert a newly filled bobbin in the case
b. then pull a couple of inches off the bobbin and close the
bobbin plate ,
c. then thread the needle and pull the loose thread toward rear
of the machine
d. then manually turn the hand wheel/crank in a counter clockwise
fashion (some would say roll it toward the sewer)
e. the needle enters the bobbin case and comes up with the needle
thread looped around the bobbin thread ?
