I would like to group a record player with a Connect and a receiver with a Connect. Has anyone tried this? I'm guessing there will be a delay. Any feedback would be appreciated.

I guess I'm trying to figure out why you want to connect the record player with a CONNECT, and a receiver with a CONNECT. Wouldn't it be easier to connect the record player with the receiver, and then the receiver with the CONNECT?
Anything being pushed in to the CONNECT using the analog in jacks will indeed have a small delay, so you would be hard pressed to use the speakers on the receiver at the same time as any Sonos speakers, but if they can't be heard at the same time (in different rooms, say), then I suspect you'd be fine.
To connect a receiver to a CONNECT, you'd want to use the tape inputs/outputs and connect to the CONNECT with RCA Cables.. Then you could play anything that is connected to the receiver (radio, record player, DVD player, MD tape, etc) and push it out to the Sonos ecosystem.
If I didn't hit any other details you're interested in, please feel free to ask.

The solution to this is to have the receiver play the Sonos output to its own speakers while simultaneously feeding the phone input to the CONNECT. One way to do this (if your receiver is old enough to have tape input/output) is to connect Receiver tape out to CONNECT Line In and Receiver Tape Monitor input to CONNECT Line Out.
The delays introduced by the CONNECT LIne In buffering present the same issue as delays in older high end tape players that had separate record and playback heads. That's why this solution works.

I am trying to just connect a turntable to my connect so that it plays throughly soundable. Any helps greatly appreciated I can't seem to get it to work.
