CAT SL 1Pre. Need confirmation re: Tube Complement


I would like some help regarding tube info on a CAT SL-1 MK 3 unit. If anyone has this unit, please tell me what the tube complement is in the V6 & V7 positions (line inputs). Is it 12AU7 or 6DJ8 types?

Is the MK 3 a HUGE improvement over the MK 2 unit?

All your help is greatly appreciated...

Spencer's input is basically correct but some of the numbers are jumbled up a bit. I have a Mk3 unit as well.
Phono section info is exactly correct.
Line section: V6, V7 & V10: 6922
V8, V9: 12AX7 &
I believe that the Mk2 used to use 12AU7 instead of the 6922. This was a noisier tube & the Mk2, for some reason, "ate" these 12AU7 tubes rather quickly. (Maybe they were biased too high?)
Also, hope that Ken S. will see this thread & maybe give us his inputs.
