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.
