1987 camry will not start

Ok. I've got this issue with my camry when it is random when it decides to turn.

When it decides not to turn over, it turns turns all the lights on and the clock goes out.

I've replaced the alternator, checked the relays and even cleaned them to get a better connection. The battery is 4 months old. The alternator is 3 months old. I haven't checked the starter, but when it does out tapping it doesn't help with the turning over.

I need some assistance in this matter and fast because I'll miss my army drill if I don't get this fixed by thursday.

Jump starting the car does not often help. And there are moments when the car won't start, but then I wait maybe 15 minutes and it starts up fine.

Any assistance is welcomed.

So when the starter fails to operate do the dash lights stay bright or they going out but come back when you release the key?
