Yes, that was the model that Classic Home Cinema hoped to get into production converted into a projector. Unfortunately they didn't get enough expressions of interest to go past a prototype. That needed modifications and I think that, combined with the predicted price put people off. I did give a tentative indication of interest in the finished version.
There is a test report here http://www.bfcc.biz/ scroll down to the tab "Projector archives" to view.
Its a pity that it (CHC version) was never taken up and put into production. I like the functionality/ practicability of what was intended, and the ugly appearance of the CHC version was of no concern. Indeed I think it made the unit look more professional, like a 35mm machine, rather than trying to please people on looks alone. Having no audio amp would have made things simple, again as proposed, as Phil probably expected that the amplification should be done by external equipment, designed for that job.

The Fumeo 9131 was a bog standard cine transfer machine which do still pop up for sale. It was touch button operated giving a reasonable transfer at the time.
At the time it was thought the forthcoming new machine was using up left over parts hence no amp. Never got to see the attempted 8mm projector demo but I have seen the 9131 telecine machine of old with not very good sound quality.
The 9131 still come up for sale, I did have a passing thought to convert one to a regular projector but decided after hearing it no worth the effort when much better machines are available.
Anybody looking for one to play with look at ebay.it one is on at the moment.
Out of curiosity, what makes it specifically "Telecine" projector?
My wild guess would be quartz-locked speed control or synced-speed to external control pulse at the very least, and what else?
