center tap transformer project

[grifftech]

the transformer is 24 volts with a 12 volt center tap, will this work?

Yes.  But, I would add a few more components.  A couple protection diodes, output capacitor and a LED. 
The LED provides a power 'ON' indication and more importantly a minimum load for the regulator.

   


If you care to have a PCB made, it might look like this.
