Hi Jim.
My guess is that the starter is tired and may have iffy brushes.
The solenoid is easily tested by applying power to the terminal.
It should clunk in and out as the power is applied and released.
It may have dirty/worn contacts but I still think the starter needs new
brushes.

I've got a quick question for the group:
My roadster starts fine, but if I try to restart it when it's even the least
bit warm, the starter sounds like it's under excessive load and the car
won't start.
I replaced the main ground last month so it's in super shape. I'm thinking
I might have a bad solenoid, but would appreciate anyone's thoughts /
diagnosis ideas as I get started trying to figure out what's up.
Thanks!
