Thank you Larry,
Yes I did mean the FC-1. My fingers were not connected to my brain! I agree
with your assessment of Konica SLRs. Mine is in new condition and is
beautifully made, but unfortunately useless without the battery holder. I
also have a Konica C35 EF3 camera that I find ideal for street photography,
shooting from the hip. It has a 35mm f2.8 lens, a shutter as quiet as a
Leica, well thought out design and very well made: a joy to use.
Bob Rosen must be a very unlucky man!

I never had a Konica reflex. And I'm glad! Unfortunately I did own two
rangefinder type Konicas. They deteriorated like a 1950s American car. One
lost a rangefinder mirror somewhere inside. The other gave up its meter.
You
didn't even need to use them.
There's a good reason Konica isn't around any more. At least, I hope it
isn't.

I wonder did you mean the FC-1? These occasionally come up on ebay. You
might also find them for even less money as rebadged items but you'll have
to google to find these.
I find the konica reflexes fascinating cameras from a company that made a
lot of cutting edge developments in its time.
All the best
