There is a circular Bakelite set of contacts underneath the Roto Target you can loosen it and rotate it in order for the contacts to line up then it will score I had the same problem with my dancing lady
Check to see that all the springs underneath are attached. There should be an anti-reverse pawl lever, and if the spring is off or missing, the roto unit won't stop in the right position.
I've found this helpful.

take the plastic off the top and with a long screw driver you can access the screws to loosen. If you watch the lifters, you can spot when they are on the rivets
I did tighten the set screw and replaced the A-1053 spring with the correct size. Seems to be resetting better. However I am not getting power to the 5 target contacts.
Shouldn't there be a constant 30 volts to the Red-White on the roto target?
Yes, looking at the diagram the red-white should be hot as long as you have power to everything else... there is a contact on the ball unit that drives all the pf 30v stuff.
Something is wrong in the way you're measuring. You are probing the side common to all the switches, you should put your clip lead there and probe the other side of the switch. Not sure how the wire you're clipped to is involved in the circuit.
After digging deeper this morning, I disassembled the unit and found the spider adjustment was off. I thought it was a voltage issue but in the end it was the misalignment of the disk. All 5 spin targets are scoring.
