I don't know anything about this machine either, but learn as much as
you can about proper restoration techniques and start working on it!
Once she sees that it means something to you, the wife's argument for
junking it ought to go out the window.  Just don't lose enthusiasm
midway, when you will have lots of loose parts, as that will almost
guarantee that it will be discarded.

It sounds like an interesting machine.  Did you get rolls with it?
Any early system like this deserves preservation.  That much I do know.

Cordially,
