After the playfield was swapped, none of the five flippers work, although the game otherwise runs and the fuses are good.

All five flippers dead after a playfield swap: cold joint on the tilt relay

Cause: The flipper power runs through the tilt relay, and a cold solder joint on that relay broke the circuit.

Checks

  • Make sure the game is not tilted, and watch whether the tilt relay pulls in when a game starts.
  • Inspect the solder joints on the tilt relay and the wires and connector feeding the flippers.

Fix

  • Resolder the cracked joint on the tilt relay.
