Is there any song in particular you're talking about?
He used many different types of keyboards over the years.
I think he may have also used a Wurlitzer EP.
I have seen him recently use a Suitcase Rhodes on Love Me Two Times with The Doors of the 21st Century.
Other than that, he started off playing the Vox Continental organ with the Fender Rhodes Piano Bass. The Continentals would often break down, so he later chose to use the Gibson Kalamazoo, which sounded similar and had more options.
In a recent-ish Doors video of Light My Fire (with that awful Creed guy), you can see Ray's Kalamazoo, Piano Bass, and Continental, but he uses the Continental and Piano Bass in the video. What is most annoying is that the piano bass volume is turned way down or off in the recording, and an actual bass player is playing with them and is playing the WRONG part during the solo. >.<
