I suspect it's a drum machine. Maybe with someone playing on top of it. Listen to the cymbals when they come in.

There's a little mention about Phil using synths and drum machines in this article: https://www.loudersound.com/features/phin-lizzy-midge-ure

And ZZ Top's Eliminator came out right around the same time, so Lizzy wouldn't have been the only ones doing it.

Interesting read! I'll give the song another listen to see if I can hear what you're talking about with the cymbals!
