The bobbin stays fixed and releases thread under bobbin tension. The part that moves is the hooked arm that is around the bobbin. This is disconnected when you are in bobbin winding mode, so make sure you are in sewing mode. Here is your manual
See if the A/B switch makes any difference in the feed dogs.
Sometimes these old machines haven't been oiled like they should and it's possible the feed dogs are stuck in the lowered position. Also, if it was used a lot the feed dogs get worn and no longer work like they should.
Hi! Congratulations! I just read a great review of your machine at http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/sm/readsmreview.pl. One of the things the reviewer noted is that the 139 wasn't designed by Pfaff. It was designed by another sewing machine company (the GZ in your serial number) that Pfaff had bought. The machine dates to the 1950s.
Statewide sewing (http://www.statewidesewing.com/#Accessories) has a great selection of belts.
Hope this helps!
Happy Sewing
ebay might have what you are looking for. This is the first place I'd look for parts the stopped production. Reading material will always be in ebay than the manufacturer itself. Also try this one I found http://sewingwishlist.com/help/pfaff-1469-info.html
Nothing is too old, that is what the internet is for. You can google it or you click this link (PFAFF Manuals) which I found for you. Just look for your model and easily download the owners manual after purchase. Don't lube any part of your machine until you have a manual which shows you where. Oil attracts lint and could cause it to operate in a difficult manner.
