93 240 wagon strange ignition problem 200 1993

Our 93 240 wagon recently stopped starting. It happened suddenly. When I turn the key in the ignition there is a click and the engine might crank one time and then stop. It sounds like a dead battery, but all the electrical systems work fine.
But then I noticed that if I held the key in the start position for maybe two or three more seconds, the engine might crank again once or twice. Finally, it usually starts. But only usually.
I have it in a garage now, but the mechanic is unable to find where there is an electrical problem and he said the starter works fine. Any thoughts?
