Default seeking schematics or plans to build a stereo analog volume meter (to plug into pc speaker headphone jack)

I would like to build an analog volume meter (moving needle type)
using moving needle gauges like this

scavenged from a dead mixer's VU meter.

It would plug into the headphone jack on a set of computer speakers
and monitor the right/left sound volumes independently.

Can anyone point me to a good website or book with schematics or plans
on building this?


How about LED bar-graph VU meter? Fairly easy to make, using these:

Check the full datasheet for example circuits.
