Shown my Boy's OLYMPUS OM2n set now here is his KONICA Autoreflex TC set which I have also 'taken over' as he has lost all interest in his lovely FREE GIFT Gear !
It was given by a local rich businessman who also gave him a load of STAMPS and First day Covers -- the Gent took camera to his house in France but never seemed to have used the 28mm and 200mm lenses he found later., as they are MINT still in their cases. I think the Konica was made in about 1974. Standard lens is a 50mm f1.7 Hexanon AR, also shown the 28mm f3.5 Hexanon AR and the VERY HEAVY 200mm f4 Hexar AR. Camera synchs with flash up to 1/125th second and takes two now - illegal Mercury Batteries -- BUT it works without the batteries which only work the TTL Metering -- it needed replacement foam light seals in camera back but has NO usual 'Mirror Bumper Strip' but has some pads in the mirror box like the Olympus OM2n.

Same as mine you'll like the 28mm and 50mm lens and the TC is a good basic camera, the Hexar range of lenses were the cheaper ver of the Hexanon and produced later on. I also have the Konica FS-1 and did have three FT1's but none of them worked properly as the electronic side for Konica non mechanical cameras is there weak point.
For my TC have just used 1.5v batteries and adjusted the asa...used the camera for some VG shots (some abroad) and even took it to the megameet at Whipsnade for shots as I was confident the camera was reliable and gave VG results.
