Pogue, it was a Moog.

It was one of those old, old monophonic Moog synthesizers. Although the synth had been around awhile, Robert Moog was the first person to add a keyboard to the hookup in 1967, and it was pretty insightful for The Beatles to start fooling around with one that soon. They used it on Sun King, and I think the chord progression for that song is backwards Beethoven (I forget which Beethoven, though).

The Let It Be re-release was Let It Be...Naked, and it was a remastering of the tracks without Phil Spector's wall-of-sound effects that are all over the original.
