Diagnose failure to start first time

My 90 900T with 175K is having a problem starting recently. I can't figure out if it is the ignition switch or the starter it self. Sometimes I have to turn the key on and off and on again 10 or more times. Each time the lights go on, then off when you get to start, the solonoids click, and nothing happens. I think I can hear the starter clicking (once), but not 'turning on'. I'm stumped as to whether I have a bad ignition switch or a starter with a dead spot. Sometimes I'll get in and it will start first try, other times it is 10 or more turns of the key.
Has anyone else had a started get dead spots in it (ie, if it is sitting in one position it will just go click and possibly move a fraction of an inch, then when it moves enough it will start).
What checks are there for a bad ignition switch?
Thanks all!!
Liam :-) 90 900T
