Narrative:
First flight after extensive maintenance including rewiring and annual inspection. Cycled gear in-flight several times without down-lock indication. Attempted to pump gear to lock with manual hand pump without improvement. Visually gear in proper position. On rollout nose-gear collapsed leading to minor airframe damage and propeller strike. No injuries occurred. FAA notified and investigating. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter stated that the purpose of the flight was to test the aircraft after extensive maintenance. The cause of the nose gear collapse was due to a check valve left out during overhaul of the nose lock actuator. The aircraft was a 1969 C210.
