Thanks for all your thoughts. Further
Shorting the starter: shorting from big terminal (battery) to big terminal
(starter power) will cause spinning but no starter engagement. Your
starter passed that simple test.
Shorting from big terminal (battery) to the small third terminal should
make the solenoid plunger (1) engage the starter
?
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,
Do the battery test with a voltmeter but it may also be a dead spot on the
starter commutator. Sometimes the brushes get stuck and don't make good
contact with the commutator. Sometimes it's an actual dead or dirty spot on
the commutator. If the battery tests good, try wacking the starter with
