Yeah, but most of the gear he bought was still new in the 80s and wasn't just thrown into pawnshops like the 303. What I was saying is that there's this myth that in the 80s you could pick up an entire top of the line analog studio for nothing which just isn't true for the most part.

But you are right, in the 70s it was pretty much impossible to build a home studio unless you were someone like Jarre or Kraftwerk.

Kraftwerk recorded in a studio in the '70s, not at home.

A lot of the 808's reputation as a drum machine used by poor people is almost solely due to the fact it was the drum machine of choice for ghetto music: hip-hop, freestyle, booty bass, etc. Heck, it still is, or at least programs that emulate it. I'm sure producers with high-end studios used them as well, but often in tandem with other gear of the day, drowning out the 808's most notorious traits (big bass, tinny percussion, that cowbell).
