[W126 Coupe] 380 died :-(

[Ernie]

I would take the battery into a shop for testing; it really does sound like a battery issue.

Preliminary investigation suggests electrical and/or starter motor - when I turn the ignition key, I here a series of clicks, but nothing further.  We checked the battery with a voltmeter - full charge, drops slightly when the ignition is turned.
