I actually like the Magic Noodle system. It is definitely a step
up from the old slotted spindle, which I found to be a disaster.
The Praktica has the two wires attached to the spool right? Or
is that Zenit? Anyway, I have never had a problem with loading a
camera with the Magic Noodles. Umm, may be a dumb question, but
do you put the film cassette into the camera before putting the
film into the take-up? It is much harder to load a camera that
way.
