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...

According to Ken Stevens, the 3 is a HUGE improvement over the 2. On his advice, coupled with my lack of funding for a new Ultimate, I bought a Mark III. (Very happy w/it.)
The line stage tube complement is as follows:
V5, V6, V10 are 6922(6DJ8,ECC88)
V7, V8 are 12AX7(ECC803S)

Phono side is similar:
V1, V2, V5 are 6922(6DJ8,ECC88)
V3, V4 are 12AX7(ECC803S)

Cheers, Spencer
It's funny, I was looking directly at a photocopy from the manual that Bombaywalla sent me, since me used pre didn't have the manual included. That page was apparently mis-labeled as there were two locations labeled V5 and none labeled V9. If I re-number them going top down, then left to right, as in the phono side, then Bombaywalla's labeling above makes perfect sense. Guess the manual had an error at some point in time.
Sorry for any confusion...Cheers,
Spencer
