Sounds like your starter is bad.
Confirm by checking for 12V on the small wire when the key is on the
starter position. If you have 12v to switch on the starter, and the
battery and cables are good, then the starter is your problem.
Thanks for all your thoughts. Further information:
Shorting the starter results in starter spinning without engaging flywheel.
Solenoid *thunk* without starter turning began after my son attempted
starting with the 50 amp momentary setting on my 10 amp battery charger. Is
there a fuse or other component likely to have been affected by this event?
TIA again.

So, the 1980 240D has strange symptoms:
Intermittent battery draining and when battery is recharged to full,
the ignition switch causes a loud click (the solenoid actuating) but
then no engine turning. Are these symptoms likely associated? Is one
causing the other?
TIA for your thoughts,
Greg
