It also has the slightest squeak as you turn it, which comes from the bellows. Maybe it's just because the lens is heavy?
 
Likely needs service....after so many years. the entire linkage from the focus wheel through to the scissor arms that control the movement of the lens.
 
Does not sound like my two copies. Should not be squeaking. Its pretty easy to turn wheels. Cant do it with a single finger but thumb and forefinger it moves pretty smoothly.

Check out wizcam on ebay. He works on these cameras and has a solid reputation for doing good work. Formerly part of Panorama Camera in NYC relocated to Florida.
