Quick answer

Regular dusting, gentle sensor cleaning, and proper storage will keep your Quarterback Pro Home Football Arcade performing like new. Focus on the throwing area and electronic components to avoid common issues.

Why routine care matters for your arcade table

Your Quarterback Pro Home Football Arcade has sensitive sensors and moving parts that track passes and register scores. Dust, spills, and wear can affect accuracy over time. A few minutes of preventive care each month protects your investment and keeps the five game modes—QB Pro, Quick Pass, Hail Mary, Skill Shot, and All Star—playing consistently.

Step-by-step maintenance routine

  1. 1. Dust the cabinet and throwing area weekly: Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe the exterior cabinet and the padded backboard where footballs hit. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface. Pay extra attention to the sensor windows near the target zones. Common mistake: using wet wipes or household cleaners that leave residue on sensors.
  2. 2. Clean sensor lenses gently every month: Dampen a lint-free cloth with a tiny amount of isopropyl alcohol (70%) and lightly wipe each sensor lens. Do not spray liquid directly onto the game. Let it air dry for 5 minutes before powering on. Checkpoint: if the game misreads a throw, dirty sensors are the most likely cause.
  3. 3. Inspect and tighten loose connections quarterly: With the unit unplugged, open the access panel (if available) and gently press each cable connector to ensure it is seated. Look for frayed wires or loose screws on the backboard. Re-tighten any visible fasteners. Common mistake: ignoring a loose connector can cause intermittent power issues or mode failures.
  4. 4. Wipe down the footballs and storage area: Use a damp cloth to clean the foam footballs—dirt on the ball can transfer to sensors. Store extra footballs in a dry container away from direct sunlight to prevent material breakdown. Checkpoint: replace footballs if they become misshapen or lose surface texture.
  5. 5. Protect the game from humidity and direct light: Position the arcade table away from windows, radiators, or humid basements. High humidity can fog sensor lenses, while direct sun can fade the cabinet. If storing for a long period, cover with a breathable dust cover. Common mistake: leaving the game near an open window during rainy weather, which introduces moisture into the electronics.
