Default Dropping the starter on SC300

I've got a 93 SC300. It refuses to start at this point. I've posted up in the SC forum and the guys have related experience with the contacts in the solenoid. I have determined that this is the place I will look as my battery has charge, I hear the click, but no turn.

I've done maintnenance on heavy machinery as I am an industrial engineer, but minimal maintenance on automobiles. I just got this car so I'm not too familiar with it. I bought a floor jack today and raised the car. Got under there and was able to reach the bottom bolt for the starter with no trouble. But the top bolt is in one of those scrape 'em places. I will get the funky wrench tomorrow. I would have worked on it more, but I do not have a garage and it sarted raining. EEHH.

So I'm looking for some advice in the mean time.

Oh, yeah. I'm going to be scanning the complete factory manual for the 93 SC 300 into .pdf so I will have copies. Contact me if anyone is interested. I should have them available next week.

The copper in my starter was wearing down so the car would intermittently ignite. I would imagine that the starter would begin to fail to start had I not noticed it. It might be a bad starter because age gets to it.
