There are several sources of the manual on the Internet:

If you can't get the information from those sites, let me know and I will forward a PDF of the complete 75A-1 manual. Glen, K9STH

Subject: [Collins] 75A1 manual pages needed
I have a Collins 75A1 that has been recapped and is working well. I now need to replace the dial lights and those lights that illuminate each band. I have the replacement dial light bulbs to install, as well as a new dial. .
I bought a manual that was "allegedly" a complete reproduction of the original manual. To my surprise and dismay, the manual copy jumps from 5-14 to 6.1 . The needed information is on page 5-31 and pertinent surrounding pages. I hate to ask for assistance after purchasing an incomplete manual.
However my refurbish project is dead in the water until I get instructions for replacing the dial light bulbs and replacing the dial readout legend. I have a replacement dial but the one on the 75A1 looks like one of the plastic overlays with dial information thereon just like the one I recently purchased. It appears that the problem with the dull/dark/off color dial is the yellowed paper/cardboard backing behind the imprinted plastic dial. Any thoughts on that and any instructions for replacing the plastic dial and paperboard backing for the dial?? What can I safely loosen up and not have the complete dial and stringing fall off?
I really need to complete this project promptly, and any advice and instructions from anyone who has a 75A4 and manual and has experience with this part of the project will be greatly appreciated. If anyone can send me a jpg of pages 5-14 to 6-15, I would certainly appreciate it. Thanks MUCHO for reading and any possible helpful response. 73, John, K5PGW
