Default Starting (starter?) problem- 94 coupe 83k

This car runs good but lately go to start it and on the first try all I get is a click. Then try again and no problem. Kinda like a low battery or corroded or loose battery cable. Have a new battery and the connections are tight and it is doing this on a pretty regular basis. Next step is to check the connection at the starter. Don't want the car to leave me somewhere. Does this sound like something someone out there has dealt with -----maybe a relay or solenoid or starter that is a typical c4 issue. Point me in a direction of the most likely cause. Thanks.

Probably the copper lugs and copper disc for the solenoid plunger need replacing.
Here's a video that describes the problem. The parts are sold on Amazon and E-Bay
