OUCH!
I see what you are talking about.  That is quite unorthodox, so maybe checking 
eBay every week or so for a FC1 even in ugly condition may help

for your very helpful reply.  The link you gave is  most interesting and a mine 
of information on Konica cameras. The holder I'm  after is shown on page 13 of 
the PDF manual and is a small plastic box that  holds four 1.5v button cells.  
The contacts appear to be at one end of the  holder, but are difficult to see 
in the camera. I'm sure someone in the  Konica collectors site will be able to 
help me identify polarity etc, if I'm  unable to get the real thing. 
 Thanks again

The battery goes inside a round compartment, which seems    similar to the ones 
used in many other japanese cameras of the time.
Check    here:  http://www.buhla.de/Foto/Konica/eFC-1BilderUnten.html

Since    you mention a "tray" you may have a motor drive in it, and for that I 
do not    know, but if it uses AA/AAA baterries you might as well buy a 
standard holder    in radio shack, duct tape it to the motor driva and weld the 
ends to the    contacts.
