Leave the center tap of the transformer connected as before.  Connect 
the two transformer end wires to the AC or "~" connections on the 
bridge.  Use either the "+" or "-" output of the bridge as appropriate 
for the output (to match the original polarity).  Leave the fourth 
terminal on the bridge unconnected.  Done!
