That's a selenium-rectifier charger. Those big squares are cooling fins for the rectifier stack.
Selenium rectifiers can degrade over the years, but a good electronics guy can re-fit with a modern rectifier, and return the unit to service.
I have a Sears Allstate vertical charger, 6-12-24 volt from the late 1940's with a bad selenium rectifier... will be getting it to an electrical engineer friend for repair this winter.
