Can anyone explain this to me? It's probably a really dumb question!
The schematic shows the motor drive for the Thorens TD320 turntable. the motor is 16V AC. The power supply is single ended 18V.
My question is this. The supply to the motor needs to be as in diag A, so going from + to - does it not? But if the power supply is +18V the supply to the motor will be like in diag B. In which case, how does that run the motor?

The drive board for the TD320 is a Quadrature oscillator with a zener agc which then feeds 2 H-bridge amplifiers to supply the 2 motor windings.
The transistors in the H-bridge are TO92 packages. R110 and R119 bias the opamp.
This is similar to the Phonosophie No.3

Your picture A assumes one side of a motor winding is grounded. However this circuit drives both sides of each motor winding in the range 0->18v, so we can have the case where:
- side_A = 17v, side_B = 1v => voltage AB = 17-1 = +16v
- side_A = 1v, side_B = 17v => voltage AB = 1-17 = -16v
Hope that helps!

I realise the circuit contains an RC oscillator . However I am a bit puzzled - it seems to most closely resemble a quadrature oscillator using the two top left op amps. However a quadrature oscillator requires 3 RC segments whereas this only appears to have 2 ( consisting of the 1% toleranced caps and resistors, I assume). I'm obviously missing something here!

I agree. 2 can work only at infinity. In practice two obvious poles won't sing, but one more much higher pole will bring it to the sing point, but with poor control of frequency.

It is always possible the drawing is incomplete. Or that the amplitude control (Zener thing) hides a pole.

Sorry my mistake.
I've notice the TD320 circuit is different to the Phonosophie.
The TD320 oscillator is more like a State Variable Filter Oscillator.
