Quoted from wxforecaster:EOS switches do not serve any purpose in modern Sterns other than as a confirmation to the CPU
This is a misleading statement.
While that is the purpose they serve, the reason they are there is to shorten the full strength time. If they are intermittent, or missing/disabled, the flipper will heat up fairly quickly, losing its punch.
To have long lasting flippers that don't degrade, they are absolutely necessary.
Quoted from zacaj:Source?
I read it somewhere on Pinside. 
Or maybe just the hundreds of EoS I have seen over the years with a wire off, causing a flipper to weaken (and heat up).
Without EoS switch function a game will work fine for short term play, except for crashing when a ball hits it.
Over time flippers heat up and get soggy, without proper EoS switch use.
