Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

The belts were snug, the alternator was sound and the harmonic balancer was not slipping. It was in fact the starter.

I had a spare on the shelf and swapped it yesterday. Unfortunately the attachment point for the positive cable was extremely tight. When I tried to remove it the plastic broke away. That spoiled my plan to make an effort at cleaning it up internally and perhaps lubing it up for a spare.
