In spite of all your antenna-based solutions, could *you* be the 
source of the ESD if your body builds up a charge and you zap the 
radio when you touch the front panel?  Early 7700s have a known flaw 
where the tuning shaft is ungrounded and you can zap the encoder if 
you don't ground yourself before you touch it.  Could there be a 
similar ESD route from the front panel of the P3??
