This is a vintage radio part. I hav e3 in the same condition. Any guesses?

Looks like some kind of a high voltage filter.

Probably not a radio part. Wabash Magnetics doesn't manufacture radio components. A patent search on patents awarded to Wabash doesn't come up with the item you are showing. They were established in 1946.
Here is a link to their site:

That looks like a power supply to me. Not sure how it would be used in a radio, if at all.

Its 2 capacitors. The component is too large for a radio, even an old one

Any idea what it is for? Car? Is it worth anything?
Thanks,

It's been a REAAALLLLLY long time since I've seen something made without zener diodes and other solid state devices, so I can't ID it immediately. What are the markings on the black and the red tubes? And what's inside/under the red box and inside the metal box?
DC power clearly comes out (the + and - on the side labeled "output" are the indication that DC will come out).
It's perhaps the "rectifier" part of a power supply - AC voltage goes in (from the wall plug into somewhere) and DC comes out. If the lobng skinny things are "ferrite core" thingies, you might have a bandpass filter (high or low, depending on how they are wired). They could also be "power resistors" ... capable of handling a lot more current than the typical ones. And maybe still a filter of some sort.
DO NOT TRY TO SEE IF THIS WORKS! Capacitors can explode when stressed and the metal cans turn into shrapnel.
But yes, list them as "vintage mystery Wabash Magnetics electronics devices" for $9.99 each and see what happens.

I just sold a lot of these of about 300. Most were the smaller ones for radio some were bigger. I paid 3.00 for all of them and made 55.00. From what I have seen they like the lots.

Thanks!!
On the black tube it has a seris of numbers: 26-co302-0022
606
.025 MFD
5000 VAC
On the red tubes it says 26000501-0080...608

(If they mean MEGA Farad, that's a honking BIG capacitor!)
5000 VAC
(and a really high voltage compared to the puny 5 volts I'm used to messinf with).
On the red tubes it says 26000501-0080...608
that's a part number.
When you list it, include the numbers and something so the SIZE of the compionents is visible. I've seen capacitors with that shape that are several inches in diameter and almost a foot long, or half-inch across and an nich long.

This is apparently a VOLTAGE DOUBLER from the appearance of the rectifier and capacitor circuitry. Frequently used in high voltage low current circuits. Not normally found in average radios though some Ham radio equipment might use these.

How soon we all forget.
These are a couple of FLUX Capacitors, a unique invention of Dr. Brown's. The only problem you will have is finding the required power to run them, as it would require 1.2 gigawatts.
