1973 Beetle. Started having starter troubles before I put car away for winter. If I turn the key it may take several seconds for the starter to engage. I've replaced the ground cable and cleaned all battery connections. Have good voltage at the starter. I can short the starter at the terminals and it will turn over readily. Funny part is if I hold the key to start after awhile it will finally turn over. Any pointers appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Ignition switch.

Seen this.. it was a dirty (oxidized/rusted) solenoid plunger. In 2 cases that I've run across at least.
