Any recommendations of where to get my Camelot 3 wires repaired/replaced professionally?

Black Diamond I expect, Salt Lake, Utah. Get in touch and ask them re wires. They replaced all tapes on mine for free and covered return postage, I just posted them out there with UPS.

You might be better off buying the replacement cables and doing it yourself. It's quite easy.

Needle sports sell them if you haven't been able to find them anywhere else:

I haven't done Camalots but have done the old tech friends and it was simple enough (I think Camalots are even easier, as the cables are just looped to the triggers rather than glued in). 

Or alternatively, if you want to go all the way down the rabbit hole, you could get a crimping tool, some stainless cable and go full DIY on it.

I guess it depends on how many you have to do, because at a tenner per cam I wonder how many it takes before the cost exceeds postage to the USA and back.

Sorry to hijack a little bit.

Does anyone know if you can buy replacement triggers that keep the larger cam's compact for racking?

Annoyingly lost one during a bit of a squeeze recently!!

Its dead easy to do. I've replaced trigger wires on all ours from #2 to #4 using the manufacturer kits and instructions. Otherwise risk death Mr Tan style:
