My guesses in order of probability...dirty connections at the battery...dead cell in the battery...internally corroded battery cable...loose ground connection. |

Yup, battery connections, ground to block should be cleaned, and the battery its self can be good one moment, and dead enough to not turn over the engine the next start. |

Battery cables do rot out after 30 years and will not carry enough amperage to kick the starter over..... Ask me how I know......then why it rotted out 10" from the starter.... |
