You need to clean your 'dial off-normal' contacts! They're the ones that should close when the dial is turned. I'd just clean ALL the dial contacts by drawing a piece of blotting paper (or paper of similar roughness) through them when they're gently squeezed together. You can check with a multimeter on 'Ohms' whether they're clean as they should show a low resistance. Dirt can build up to tens, or even hundreds of ohms and this will cause clicking.
Use a drop of isopropanol or pull a 'spec-wipe' through between them.
Is handset not just a 164-type three wire handset same as on a 300 instrument but with GEC stamped on it? Cord replacement is similar (says he without looking at his Gecophone) with a whipped loop attached to the metal plate at the mic end where the pin contact is screwed into.
