Being started that many times per day, chances are that bushings are worn as are all the internal components. You could rebuild it but to do that correctly likely the parts would cost you more than a completely rebuilt unit. A good rebuild includes new end bushings, brushes, solenoid and bendix drive. The only original parts should be the housing, field coils and armature. The symptoms you posted sound more like a worn brush or solenoid internal contact. When testing voltages, your radio and lights are not a really good indicator of battery condition or charging system operation. Always use a good volt or multi-meter to do testing.

Safety first!--Make sure you're in park & brake on-- Try shorting across the starter terminals with a screwdriver,if the bendix kicks in & nothing spins,remove the starter & put in bench vice ,(or hold down securely), & jump with cables.--REMEMBER POLARITY--If the starter spins you are in deep *******---something in the motor is probably locked up.(If the starter doesn't spin get a new one.)
