It looks and sounds like an ARP Solina.

Here's a clip of Bowie on the Tonight show in 1980 - can someone tell me what the top keyboard is? It has the shitty paneling look of a chamberlin (which Bowie had), but doesn't look big enough to be an M1. It sounds cool to me, but is probably some kind of synth or low rent organ. I have no idea if it is, but it sort of looks like Carlos Alomar playing it.
