Brian Kehew has a site dedicated to John Paul Jones and his keyboard rig.

 I keyboard is a Farfisa VIP-255.   It had pitch-bend capability via footpedal.

I  used to be stumped, too, until I came across the site.  Check out the  other tid-bits, like the Hohner Electra-Piano on "Misty Mountain Hop."  For the tronnies, John Paul Jones gives a collective kick in the yarbles.  I think it's pretty well-documented how much he hated our little white beasts.
