Dead battery? I'd try to get a jump ASAP!
Could be your voltage regulator went out? Little late, but, I carry one of those jump start packs with me...

You can jumper/bypass the neutral safety switch with a wire, there is a 3-wire connection just ahead of the brake booster IIRC.

Have you tried to whack the starter with a tire iron or some other bar you can find?
Worked in my 123 wagon when I was having electrical problems - Would get lights and radio, but not enough juice to engage the starter. whacking it got it to spin enough to start and get me out of the parking lot I was stuck in.....

Yes.
Juice is there, nearly new battery. Nothing on the key turn. No solenoid click. Nothing.

Yes, but a wire to which pins. Do I undo the connector, just loosen it? Jump the pin side or the socket side? I am lost here. Not an electric0al guru.

For a better answer you could ask vstech he's a man who would probably know for sure - he's also more likely to be back on line more frequently as he's a moderator.

Happy
Happy to help.
 FYI: * With the ignition turned to the RUN position. * He jumped terminal #65 and #71 in the attached picture to start the engine. I also suggested a remote starter switch until the new NSS can be installed. https://shop.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result?q=remote+starter+switch http://www.google.com/search?q=remote+starter+switch&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1&rlz=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1260&bih=859 .
