Electrical question '72 Burb

I had a weird thing happen on my Burb yesterday.

Went for a short drive, turned it off and went to start it again, but the starter wouldn't engage. All the inside/outside lights remained on and bright. I put my battery charger on it for a couple minutes and then flipped the charger to power start and it fired right up. Removed the charger and it started 3 or 4 more times no problem. Any thoughts?

The battery is about 5 yrs old, so I suspect that and maybe a poor connection at the battery, but what else should I check? Could it be the starter/solenoid?

Re: Electrical question '72 Burb

power to starter goes thru neutral safety switch if it wasnt all the way in park or if alignment is off will cause a dead starter circuit
