'64 intermittent start

Hi, about every 5th start, I get nothing, no click, hum nothing.
Lights come on strong, battery is strong. I jump from another battery sometimes starts, sometimes doesn't. I'm thinking my ground, (battery) ground looks old but is clean? Maybe solenoid? How can I check it out? Maybe the steering neutral switch, it catches if I move the steering column and I don't know it? Taking the car on a ferry soon - can't take the embarassment of a no start. Called a starter place, he said the symptons don't sound like the starter, I agree because when the current is right it grabs. Any ideas? Sure appreciate it.
