Can you scan the article so we can see it here?
My favourite VU / PPM uses LEDs. It's a really simple circuit, you can adjust the step sizes and the number of steps. My original one uses LM339 quad comparators, and a LM3900 Norton op-amp for the rectifiers. It's reasonably easy to get it set accurately, and to get a BBC-style PPM characteristic. I have switchable modes of operation, allowing the display of both channels indepedantly or M and S components.
I've recently been experimenting with processing the sum and difference signal separately, to see if there's any advantage to be had. The M & S display has been very useful.

I could only manage the one transistor fm microphone, in epe or electronics world though I loaded it up with 2n2219 transistor, was the first time I recieved a signal in some woods about 1 mile away, weak but there.

When I had to change the frequency it wouldn’t work, veronica came along (I don’t know when adverts started appearing) I soldered up the 1w stereo, took all day never expected it to work at all never heard anything like it, I got a fully quieting signal at the same place, I went through every kiss in ibiza, gatecrasher, essential selection cd, it was the most fascinating thing.

I suppose nothing can help you here, I was only looking through these magazines the other day through the world radio history archive, trying to find adverts

I don't think i'd want to atemp many of the projects even now lol, there are a very useful circuits, in one of the magazines they would get obsessed by distortion in audio amplifiers, how to measure it, can imagine them parading around in a pair thd tights,

lol the whole thing became about thd, you'd think give it a rest.

best left to hannah fry or wenesday addams or I don't know who else would do that
