A fully-functional version was supposedly shown at a very public event, but I have no photos to prove this.

Not under the original name. A spin-off of the company (different name) either still exists or existed until very recently.

I'm not sure when the company was formed, but I don't think it existed until the 1970s.

Was it supposedly shown in 1975 ?

I don't know who that is, but I don't see his name connected with this company in any way.
