Abstract Superconducting gun cavities for cw operation in accelerators are under study. In 2003 a three-and-a-half cell gun cavity was chemically treated with buffered chemical polishing and tested successfully in a collaboration between Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf and DESY. For several years a 1.3-GHz 1.6-cell resonator has been under study, which has been built and tested at DESY and elsewhere. For further studies and optimization the gun cavity needed to be electro-polished, which was conducted at DESY for the first time using vertical electro-polishing. The technical set-up for the vertical electro-polishing and high pressure rinsing as well as the processing parameters applied and the adaptation of the existing infrastructure to the 1.6-cell geometry at DESY are presented.
