Paul,

There is a strong possibility that there is a short circuit in the starter 
motor.
This would drag the voltage down so low that the contactor releases. Once
released the voltage will rise again and the contactor makes, only to release
when the voltage drops. Hence the chattering.

The starter could be checked with your ohm-meter although even a "good" starter
will be of very low resistance.
